Americans also express doubts about the president-elect’s ability to improve the health care system or unite a polarized nation.

A new Gallup poll shows that Americans harbor high hopes for President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to tackle key national issues—particularly border security, economic growth, and public safety—with him earning the highest rating of any incoming president on the issues of controlling illegal immigration and reducing the crime rate.

The poll, conducted nationwide in early December, reveals a nation hopeful for decisive action on key issues like the economy, immigration, and safety—with doubts about Trump’s ability to improve the health care system or unite a polarized nation.

A strong majority (68 percent) of Americans believe Trump will succeed in controlling illegal immigration, the highest share of respondents to express this view in the history of Gallup polling. Smaller majorities expect him to reduce unemployment and enhance safety from terrorism (60 percent each), improve the economy (58 percent), avoid war (55 percent), and cut taxes (54 percent). Also, 51 percent expect Trump will lower crime rates, which is a record score for any incoming president, including Trump in 2016.

Relatively few respondents to Gallup’s poll expect Trump will manage to heal political divisions (33 percent) or improve the quality of the environment (35 percent), with slightly more optimism expressed that he would make the health care system better (40 percent) and improve race relations (41 percent). More optimism was expressed about Trump’s ability to improve education (43 percent), substantially reduce the budget deficit (45 percent), improve conditions for minorities and the poor (46 percent), lower prices (47 percent), and improve the way the federal government works (47 percent).

Yes to all that but he needs to dump his labor sec pic, a union stooge who will wipe out independent contractor jobs just like AB 5 in California did. Why on earth did he pick this loser?

Union members voted for him 2 to 1 over the loathsome commie bimbo. Why? Someone explain this to me.

On immigration, it appears Elon Musk, billionaire globalist, bought the rights to dictate the immigration policy.

BULLSH&T, The health care system can be fixed in 90 days MAX. ALL Federal Employee's SHALL enroll in the Affordable Care Act at their own expense for their primary medical care. Any State that does not have 100% of the Public Employee's in their State enrolled in the Affordable Care Act at their own expense, shall receive NO FEDERAL FUNDS FOR ANY REASON.

You watch how fast Obamacare is repealed in it's entirety.

No he didn”t. I actually think there are people here that would be happier if Kamala won.

Trump hasn’t had a chance to even take office and people are all disgruntled and bitchin’ about everybody and everything.

Maybe we didn’t deserve to win.

Then, Americans should be emailing and phoning their elected representatives at the State and Federal levels to facilitate whatever DJT needs to fulfill his promises to the American People.
Blind obstructionism should NOT be tolerated at ANY LEVEL.
Help him, and we will ALL be better off.
